Three Centuries of Harvard, 1636-1936
Samuel Eliot Morison sat down to tell the whole story of Harvard informally and briefly, with the same genial humor and ability to see the human implications of past events that characterize his larger, multi-volume series on Harvard.
Samuel Eliot Morison's Historical World
At a time when his colleagues prided themselves on their ability to write the dullest prose on narrowest topics, Morison (1887-1976) set out to write history that would appeal to the general public without loss of intellectual rigor, and succeeded.
The Great Explorers
This abridgement of the late Samuel Eliot Morison's magnum opus, The European Discovery of America, which the Journal of Southern History called "an epic work of true grandeur," and the Virginia Quarterly Review considered "a great book by a great historian," preserves the originality, scholarship, and vivid descriptions of the original volumes.
Vistas of History
Six random essays on the historical method, including topics such as Plymouth Colony, the fruitless Peace Convention of 1861, the Battle off Samar, October 26, 1944, and Ben Franklin's wisdom.
The Intellectual Life of Colonial New England
A reviewer of the first edition (1936) of Professor Morison's book wrote that ...because his endeavor is to show that seventeenth century America is more knowable than we thought, and partly because his method is wherever possible objective...he comes as near success in his task as any man perhaps may come.(Nation) In his preface to the second edition, Professor Morison states that ...the intellectual life of this period might well be called the...`Early Flowering' of New England.
Sailor Historian
Thiry-four selections that best represent Morison's scope, depth, and vigor as a writer and explorer. Samuel Morison, a Harvard professor for 25 years, was recipient of the Pulitzer Prize and the Bancroft Award.
